White Shark Isopods for Sale (Cubaris sp.)
Dun-dun... dun-dun... aww, it's tiny.
White Sharks are a dwarf Cubaris (adults reach roughly 8 mm) with a striking black, white and orange tricolor pattern and an adorable little face. They love working their way through the substrate, tunneling under leaf litter, moss and decaying wood, which makes them a great fit for tropical bioactive enclosures.
Origin: A tropical dwarf Cubaris species from Thailand.
HPI Preferred Habitat Targets: 72–80°F; supporting relative humidity around 70–85%; keep the lower layers of the moist side consistently damp while allowing the opposite surface to become only lightly damp between watering. Maintain moderate ventilation and deep substrate; avoid both a dry core and anaerobic, waterlogged pockets. Recommended substrate depth 3-4".
Diet: Their primary diet should consist of decaying leaf litter and rotting hardwood. They also benefit from a quality calcium source, such as limestone, along with supplemental foods including quality isopod diets, vegetables, fruits, and protein offered in moderation.
Reproduction: Moderate.
Perfect For: Intermediate keepers, tropical bioactive enclosures, collectors, and anyone who wants a shark that fits on a fingertip.
Ordering: Priced per isopod, with a minimum of 3 per species. Starting a new colony? We recommend 6–20 (see How Many Isopods Should I Get?). Bulk discounts apply automatically.
